Prayer Request

On Sunday, Deb's stepdad "DD" was brought to the hospital because of breathing problems. It turns out he has pneumonia. He stabilized and has been doing somewhat OK over the last few days.  Deb travelled to South Boston on Monday to "be there" for her mom and DD. This morning, DD suddenly turned for the worse with more breathing problems, turning blue under the nails, and cold, clammy skin. Got a little better in the day, but then worse again. Deb sent her mom home to rest while she stays in the hospital room chair to be with DD.

Please pray for DD, Deb, and her mom.

Thanks!

~ Tom

Update: DD died Thursday morning at 2 am. We're still not sure exactly what caused his death. We will be leaving tomorrow to join Mom and Granny in South Boston. Thank you for your continued prayers.

Thank you for sharing the request. I'll certainly be praying. I hope this isn't too noisy but I couldn't help asking with my background as a nurse. Does "DD" have a history of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder) or CHF (Congestive Heat Failure)? If you are not comfortable responding to this I certainly understand. :) I sure hope he will be on the road to recovery soon. I'll be in prayer for all involved.

God bless you all.

Ooops! That should have been "nosey" instead of "noisy." :)
